Champion jockey AP McCoy will be making his final appearance at Haydock Park Racecourse on Easter Saturday.

And the racecourse have named the final race in his honour.

McCoy could potentially have his very last ride at next week's Crabbie's Grand National if Shutthefrontdoor wins the world's greatest steeplechase But before next week's three-day Aintree Festival, the soon-to-be 20-time champion jockey will make his final appearance at Haydock.

Like the majority of courses across the country, McCoy is no stranger to passing the winning post at Haydock Park, with 42 career wins to boast so far.

His already impressive list of accolades include a Tommy Whittle Chase (Legal Right, 2001), a Betfair Hurdle (Binocular, 2008) and most recently a Betfair Sportsbook Handicap Hurdle with More of That, who went on to win the World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

McCoy is scheduled to saddle up for three rides, including Ustica for Jonjo O’Neill in the sixth race at 4.20pm.

Although he doesn't have a ride in the last race of the day Haydock Park officials and sponsors 888sport have agreed to rename the race ‘The 888sport AP’s Last Ride At Haydock Park “Fixed Brush” Novices’ Handicap Hurdle Race’ in his honour.

Haydock Park general manager, Jason Fildes, said: "We’re delighted to see AP here at Haydock Park tomorrow; the scene of so many great victories. We feel naming the penultimate race in honour of the finest jockey of this generation is only right, and we hope he can bring the day to a fitting end with another memorable victory!"

Tickets for the Wild-West themed family fun day at Haydock Park are still available.
